Pittsburgh Penguins Prospects Thread

[steelcityassault]

Probably not. An AHL contract maybe, but the number of CHL overagers who make it big in the NHL is too small afaik to make him worth more. Spinozzi had a bigger last season in the CHL and he's still not escaped Wheeling for us.

Send him to Wheeling. Lol

They're getting their business done nice and early this year it seems.

Elite prospects has Brown’s dad playing for the Big Pens in ‘93-94. Looks like the best year of his career stats wise too. Guy had a long career. Pretty cool.

Neither deal counts against contract slots correct?

Hoping we can pick up Zerter-Gossage and maybe Wilkins in the summer.

Saskatoon's leading Moose Jaw 3-0 in their playoff series, and Almeida has 0 points in those 3 games. Game 4 is tonight and he has 0 points at 1st intermission.

Wouldn't bode well for him if he couldn't manage a single playoff point as an undersized 20 year old.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Jarry with a shutout tonight. After a slow start to the season he's up to a .919 save percentage on the year. Good for 7th best save pct in the league out of the 50 qualified goalies this season.

Means very little. Larger sample of scoring is strong. Potted 13 p in 14 gp in last years playoffs and has 209 points in past 136 games.

I’d put zero stock into that in terms of how it affects his NHL outlook.

Hopefully we can pick up a 3rd for him at the draft.

I'm hoping for a sorta like for like prospect swap - like we did with Sprong.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Caught a bit of D'Orio last night.
Moncton won to tie the series up 2-2.
He's fighting the puck a bit right now vs hot 20yr old Leclerc in the Wildcats's net.
I don't think he'll lose his net but the goaltending may decide that series.

 

[Peat]

Shawinigan tied 2-2 in the Huskies series - Drozg picked up a goal in the second win.

That would work too, though ideally someone who is waiver exempt as we don't have many spots open for next year.

Wouldn't Shawinigan winning that series be a massive upset?

13 points in 14 WHL playoff games isn't all that great for a 19 year old either. Addison's a defenseman and he scored at a better pace than that as an 18 year old.

It's nothing definitive, but you'd like to see a lot more production from a player like Almeida in crunch time. Getting skunked over an entire playoff series in a high scoring league should raise a few eyebrows at the very least.

 

[Peat]

Going from league positions then, yeah, this would be an upset. Like if they entered this season's Red Wings for lulz and put them up against Tampa.

But Addison was on a far higher scoring team; both guys were 4th on their team for scoring in the playoffs last year.

This isn't what I'd hoped for but I'm not going to put much stock in it either.

Big time, the Huskies loaded up their roster like crazy. If they don't come out of the Q as champions it's a failure IMO, so 1st round would be even more pathetic for them

It’s solid enough to show he’s shown up in “crunch time.”

But yeah, idc. Greater sample shows ability to score well in juniors. He’s met a nice baseline requirement of hitting high #s, now hopefully he can turn into a top 9 winger.

I would not get worried over that whatsoever. His skillset and NHL outlook don’t suddenly get worse or go away because of a 4 game series.

Didn’t the Huskies set the all time win record lol?

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

I think so
They also tied an all time record of 25 consecutive wins that was only done twice in Junior hockey

 

[ImporterExporter]

I really want Drozg to succeed. Not only because of his affiliation with the Pens, but damn if he doesn't have a fantastic hockey name!
